Meet Andy

21 Oct 2018

“I’ve become my own man,” said Andy.

“I can come and go as I want, and make my own decisions and choices, although help is there when I need it.

“I have taken charge of my own health, both mental and physical, which means attending my psych and medical appointments and managing my medications. I’ve learnt to live and share with other people, and how to take care of cleaning, cooking, shopping and other day-to-day activities.”

But while Andy is revelling in his freedom, he appreciates all the support he has received from his Casa Venegas caregivers, particularly when it comes to achieving his goals.

“The Casa Venegas team is very helpful. They see me almost every day for my welfare check – we discuss my plan for the day or any support I need – but they respect my privacy and uphold my dignity,” Andy said.

“In the near future I hope to restart my handyman business and get a place of my own, the Casa Venegas staff have been supporting me in reaching these goals. At Casa Venegas, you really are in good hands.”
